[Intro – distant pads + muffled 808 thump, breathy ad-libs] Mmm… Yeah… Still feels like you’re here… (Verse 1) You said you needed space, then you vanished with the dawn, Left your sweater on my chair like a ghost that won’t move on. Now the room feels colder than your goodbye ever did, I replay the words you dropped like secrets you hid. My phone lights up but it’s never your name, Just friends asking why I’m not the same. I laugh it off but my voice shakes through— It’s hard to lie when the truth sounds like you. (Pre-Chorus) I keep walking past the places we claimed, Everything looks the same, But nothing feels the same. (Chorus) It’s like you took the part of me that knew how to breathe, Left the lights on but the soul in me’s weak. I reach for your shadow every time that I sleep, But shadows don’t hold, they just fall through my grip. Baby, you left and the silence hit— Now I’m here with half of me left. Here with half of me left. (Verse 2) I hear your laugh in every midnight street, Every quiet car ride, every passing beat. I fold your memories like torn-up notes, Trying to drown your name but it still floats. I wear my hoodie like armor from the ache, Hoping the fabric might soften the heartbreak. You said, “Maybe someday” with your eyes on the floor— But someday feels like never, and I’m wanting more. (Pre-Chorus) All these moments that you carved in my chest, They linger, They echo, They never rest. (Chorus) It’s like you took the part of me that knew how to breathe, Left the lights on but the soul in me’s weak. I reach for your shadow every time that I sleep, But shadows don’t hold, they just fall through my grip. Baby, you left and the silence hit— Now I’m here with half of me left. Here with half of me left. (Bridge – half-sung, half-spoken, rhythmic like a soft rap) Maybe I should hate you, Maybe I should let you go, But every time I try, Your memory pulls me low. Heart’s cracked open, But it still whispers your name, I guess loving you and losing you Ain’t ever the same. (Final Chorus – softer, breaking, atmospheric) You took the part of me that knew how to breathe, Now every room feels too heavy to be. I reach for your shadow but it slides from me, Like a dream that fades when the sun hits. Baby, you left and the silence fit— Now I’m here with half of me left… Only half of me left. (Outro – faint reverb trails + soft 808 heartbeat) Half of me… Half of me… Left with you.

Half of Me Left
